This meets the requirements of section 2.6 of Contaminated Land Statutory Guidance dated April 2012. This document replaces the original 2001 document and all subsequent revisions, and sets out the priorities for 2019-2024. 3 2.0 Background to the Contaminated Land Regime Under Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990, Local Authorities in England are given responsibilities for regulating contaminated land. There are two main parts to the local authority’s duties under Part 2A – an inspection function and an enforcement function. Statutory Guidance for regulators (2012) requires publication of a strategy setting out how the local authority will inspect its area for contaminated land, identify contaminated land and manage the information that it collects in the process. 2.1 What is Contaminated Land? In general terms, contaminated land usually means land where industrial or other human activities have resulted in the presence of substances in the ground with the potential to cause harm to human health, structures, or the environment. However, in English law the term “contaminated land” means something more specific than this. The definition of non-radioactive contaminated land from the Environmental Protection Act 1990, Part 2A is: ‘any land which appears to the local authority in whose area it is situated to be in such a condition, by reason of substances in, on or under the land, that – (a) significant harm is being caused or there is a significant possibility of such harm being caused; or (b) significant pollution of controlled waters is being caused or there is a significant possibility of such pollution being caused.’ For a relevant risk to exist there needs to be one or more contaminant-receptor linkages – “contaminant linkage”. The statutory guidance defines: A contaminant is a substance which is in, on or under the land and which has the potential to cause significant harm to a relevant receptor, or to cause significant pollution of controlled waters. A receptor is something that could be adversely affected by a contaminant, for example a person, an organism, an ecosystem, property, or controlled waters. A pathway is a route by which a receptor is or might be affected by a contaminant. A contaminant linkage is the relationship between the contaminant (or ‘source’), the pathway and the receptor. 4 CONTAMINANT PATHWAY RECEPTOR All three parts of the contaminant linkage must be in place for a risk to exist. For example, consider an industrial site that has become contaminated with lead (a toxic metal). The receptor of concern is the people that work on the site. To be harmed by the lead, the people must be able to come into physical contact with the soil that contains the lead – they must be able to inhale soil dust, or get soil in their mouths. If all the contaminated soil is covered by buildings, concrete and tarmac, the people cannot contact the soil. There is no contaminant linkage, and no risk of harm. In this case, even though a potentially harmful substance was present, the site would not legally be contaminated land. 2.2 What is Radioactive Contaminated Land? Part 2A also applies to radioactive contaminated land and this is covered by the Radioactive Contaminated Land (RCL) Statutory Guidance June 2018. Radioactive Contaminated Land is defined as: any land which appears to the local authority in whose area it is situated to be in such a condition, by reason of substances in, on or under the land, that – (a) harm is being caused; or (b) there is a significant possibility of such harm being caused. The trigger for Local Authority inspections relating to radioactivity requires ‘reasonable grounds’ for believing that land may be radioactively contaminated, and is a more limited inspection duty than for the non-radioactive contaminated land regime. If inspections identify that the land meets the statutory definition for radioactive contaminated land, it becomes a ‘Special Site’ and the Environment Agency becomes the enforcing authority. 5 At the time of writing SHDC has no reason to believe that there is any radioactive contaminated land in the district, however should information come to light which suggests otherwise, the processes given in this document and in the RCL Statutory Guidance 2018, will apply. The remainder of this document refers to non-radioactive contaminated land. 6 3.0 Aims & Objectives 3.1 Government Aims The main objectives of the Government’s policy on contaminated land and the Part 2A regime are: To identify and remove unacceptable risks to human health and the environment To seek to ensure that contaminated land is made suitable for its current use To ensure that the burdens faced by individuals, companies and society as a whole are proportionate, manageable and compatible with the principles of sustainable development. Part 2A takes a risk based approach to defining contaminated land where risk in the statutory guidance is defined as the combination of: a) The likelihood that harm, or pollution of water, will occur as a result of contaminants in, on or under the land; and b) The scale and seriousness of such harm or pollution if it did occur. In conducting assessments under the Part 2A regime the local authority should aim to focus on land which might pose an unacceptable risk. Risks should only be considered for the current use of the land. The local authority should assume that any future use or development would be carried out in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework at the time. Under Part 2A the starting point should be that land is not contaminated land unless

    Police Aviation News 286 February 2020 1 ©Police Aviation Research Issue 286 February 2020 Police Aviation News 286 February 2020 2 EDITORIAL One day into the New World that is a United Kingdom that is nominally free of the European Union there might be an expectation that there would be general dancing in the streets and much flag waving. Well it seems that, but for the odd pocket of excess, life goes on as normal until the real deal is done at the end of this year. I expect that no-one really trusts any politician to get it right at all, never mind on time, so life goes on. As a supporter of Brexit the editor, Police Aviation News and PAvCon Europe, will continue serv- ing the needs and aspirations of the airborne emergency services industry across the world – and Europe. I do not expect any period of the transition to be visible. For years now the police across Europe have welcomed the unique PAvCon conference event to their countries, and occasionally to hosting within their establishments. The Bundespolizei headquarters building in central Berlin hosts this year’s event. Even without the modest award afforded the editor some years back in Munich, the new venue is itself seen as a rare and precious honour that is also appreciated by all the well-informed attendees currently signing up for the event. Further thanks from the editor to the Helicopter Association International for the recent Law Enforcement Award, sponsored by MD Helicopters, and the Safety award from Airborne Public Safety Association last summer, again sponsored by MD Helicopters.

It is our most threatened resident bird having declined by 95% since the mid 70s. As an endemic race, the British Willow Tit is indigenous to Britain and found nowhere else. Its disappearance would be a slap in the face for all British conservationists. We've been charting the decline year by year in the Lincolnshire Bird Report and it has accelerated over the last 5 years. The RSPB recognising that they need to step in and do more to prevent the extinction of this species started a national survey in 2019 which will continue into 2020. Knowing exactly where Willow Tits have been and are now is crucial to understanding how they might be saved. We will be supporting the RSPB by following their methodology and surveying the tetrad squares they have identified as worthy of checking. Some of these squares almost certainly no longer hold birds but have done over the last 20 years or so. Negative results are useful as well as positive ones so please check squares near you even if you are pretty certain there are no Willow Tits present. The methodology requires a visit to suitable habitat in each tetrad twice during mid February to mid April and the use of playback to determine if Willow Tits are present.

  • DTE East Public Information Leaflet
    PUBLIC INFORMATION LEAFLET DTE East FACILITATING TRAINING AND PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT DTE East WHY THE ARMY NEEDS TO TRAIN The British Army is held in the highest regard around the world. This respect has been hard-won over recent years in Northern Ireland, the Falkland Islands, the Gulf, the Balkans – and countless peacekeeping operations throughout the world. But such professionalism does not happen by chance. It is attained by constant, thorough and tough training, in realistic conditions. The Defence Training Estate (DTE) provides the principal facilities to achieve this. ORGANISATION The Defence Training Estate in the UK is controlled by Headquarters DTE, based at Land Warfare Centre in Warminster, Wiltshire. The Estate is sub- divided into 12 regionally-based areas, each with its own Headquarters and staff. DTE East (DTE E) consists of Stanford training area and ranges, East Anglia training area with its Colchester-centred facilities, and East Midlands to the north of the region with its similar amenities in Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire and Nottinghamshire. TRAINING IN DTE E DTE E was formed in 1999, and hosts units from many other parts of the UK, who come to take advantage of the particular facilities we can offer them. At Stanford training area, approximately 340,000 man-training-days are carried out annually by the Regular and Territorial Army, Cadet units from all 3 services, police forces, and overseas forces. East Anglia training area includes Colchester, the ranges at Middlewick and Fingringhoe, plus Barton Road, and a dry training area (i.e. without live firing) at Stradishall disused airfield. Finally, East Midlands training area includes facilities at Beckingham, Fulbeck, Yardley Chase, and Dukeries.
